Elisabeth Borne will present the details of the pension reform this Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.

The Prime Minister should in particular indicate whether the new legal age of departure is set at 64 or 65.

But what about other European countries?

Overview of our neighbours.

65 years old on average

The legal retirement age oscillates on the Old Continent between 60 and 67 years.

Reforms are also underway in Denmark and Great Britain.

In a third of European countries, taxpayers can retire around 65, which is the average.

This is the case in Germany.

This age is set at 67 in Italy, Iceland, Denmark and soon in the Netherlands.

Conversely, it is currently set at 62 in Greece, Sweden, Norway, Slovakia and France, provided you have contributed enough.

An Ipsos poll published on Thursday January 5 revealed that 79% of French people were opposed to raising the legal retirement age from 62 to 65.

Reforms in many countries

RMC specifies that there are countries where the legal age of departure is not the same according to gender.

In Austria, for example, men leave at 65 against 60 for women.

Same for Poland.



The legal age should soon increase to 67 in Great Britain (2026), Spain (2027), Germany (2029) and Belgium (2030).

In Denmark, where it evolves according to life expectancy, it will increase to 69 years in 2035 and probably to 70 years in 2040, indicates BFM Business.

In 2050, Italy should set its legal retirement age at 69 years and nine months.

Following the example of France, exceptions are provided for in all these countries for long careers and professions considered arduous.
